Retinol is a gold-standard ingredient for anti-aging. It is a form of Vitamin A and belongs to the class of retinoids that also includes tretinoin.
Why is retinol famous?
It has the most scientific studies backing up its skin benefits out of all the non-prescription ingredients.
Retinol is proven to:
This is why retinol is effective at removing wrinkles, fading dark spots, treating acne, and reducing the appearance of pores.
Studies show retinol is less effective when exposed to UV. Be sure to look for appropriate packaging to keep your retinol potent (similar to Vitamin C).
Using retinol or any retinoids will increase sun-sensitivity in the first few months. Though studies show retinoids increase your skin's natural SPF with continuous use, it is best to always wear sunscreen and sun-protection.
We recommend speaking with a medical professional about using this ingredient during pregnancy.
Retinol may cause irritation in some people, so be sure to patch test. Experts recommend 'ramping up' retinol use: start using this ingredient once a week and work up to using it daily.

Good Molecules 1% Retinol Night Oil 6 ingredients
Feels soooo amazing and nourishing. My favorite higher potency retinol I’ve tried for sure. And the scent from the plum oil smells divine. The bottle is tiny, which I was worried about at first, but a little goes a long way so I expect that even at its tiny size, it’ll last a decent while.

Slightly on the oily side which is undesirable for my skin type, but overall good. It has a good consistency, spreads nicely, and works amazing.
